[at-l] Gear Question - Goretex

[lorac4491 at linkamerica.net (Coosa)]

I have a goretex jacket, too heavy for hiking but just fine for skiing. The 
problem is that the surface (DNR?) is no longer water repellent. I've tried 
both Revive-X an Nik-wax with no or little apparent difference (of course I 
followed the directions). I'm hoping someone out there has a suggestion... 

Thanks!

Yes, dear skeeter, there IS a solution.  The solution is to mail it back to GORE TEX and tell them it no longer repels water and will they please examine it to see if there is a problem with the GoreTex delaminating, etc.

Email GoreTex

They will contact you.  They don't like bad publicity.  AFTER ALL, it could be that their product was faulty to begin with.
